Hey, I have been wondering about that, though it doesn't really match OP's description (keeps track of every file you open), but for me it really keep tracks of every file you *create*. Here are some steps :

- Open one of your projects with Terminal and mate, or the Recent menu itself — doesn't see to matter.
- Create and save a new empty file.
- A new entry for the file is added to the Recents menu, even thought it's under a known project.

I wouldn't have expected this new file to be added under the Recent menu, since it's already "accessible" from a project I use day-to-day, and I don't think it falls under your changes made to mate.
